According to recent research published in the journal Adaptive Behavior, "In this article we describe the re-embodiment of biological aggregation behavior of honeybees in Jasmine micro-robots. The observed insect behavior, in the context of the insect's sensor-actor system, is formalized as behavioral and motion-sensing meta-models."
"These meta-models are transformed into a sensor-actor system of micro-robots by means of a sensors virtualization technique. This allows us to keep the efficiency and scalability of the bio-inspired approach," wrote S. Kernbach and colleagues, University of Stuttgart (see also Behavior).
The researchers concluded: "We also ...
